The Prisoner · Season 1, Episode 15

The Watchmaker and Number Six in “Unfinished Business”

WThe Watchmaker

You refuse to understand. What I'm doing is for a principle. We are in this prison for life, all of us, but I have met no one here who has committed a crime. I protest in a manner they cannot ignore.

Some other way, then--not by an act of murder.

WThe Watchmaker

Assassination.

Call it what you like--the important matter is that the entire Village will be punished.

WThe Watchmaker

Maybe it is what they need to wake them up, to shake them out of their lethargy. To make them angry enough...

That's assuming they survive the punishment!
